Episode Topic

Long COVID is the condition that describes the long-term health effects of a COVID-19 infection.

Many employees have been infected with the COVID-19 virus, and while they may have recovered and returned to work, some still suffer from lasting health challenges as a result of that infection.

In this episode, host CMA’s David Ciullo discusses with Jim Reidy, Shareholder and Chair of the firm’s Labor and Employment Practice Group at Sheehan Phinny , Long COVID - Are Employers Prepared for the Long Haul.

Listen to Jim and David discuss the potential health issues from Long COVID and the accommodation process that may need to be activated.

The better educated and prepared employers are to address these issues, the better chances there are that they can retain valued employees and avoid costly lawsuits.
